Mexico vs Honduras Analysis
El Tri would Like Some Azteca magic
Anyone making CONCACAF Nations League predictions would likely be surprised by El Tri’s 2-0 loss to Honduras. While winning on the road in CONCACAF isn’t easy, not many expected Mexico to take a multiple-goal loss. What may have been most troubling for El Tri was its lack of attacking pressure despite its ball dominance.
Mexico held possession for 65% of the match and only put two shots on target. It’s hard to imagine El Tri repeating that futility at home. Make no mistake though, anyone looking at Mexico vs Honduras odds knows El Tri will have to force the issue.
Mexico lineup
Malagon; J. Sanchez, Montes, Vasquez, Gallardo; Antuna, E. Alvarez, E. Sanchez; Pineda, Jimenez, H. Lozano
Mexico Injuries:
El Tri goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa will be questionable after being injured during the last meeting between the teams.
Honduras is Ready to Dig in and Defend
Anyone looking at soccer odds will see that Honduras made the most of its counterattacking opportunities during the teams’ meeting last week. Despite only holding the ball for 34 percent of the match, Honduras would end up taking 12 shots, six of which went on target.
Anthony Lozano and Bryan Rochez each scored for Honduras. The question for Honduras will be whether can it sit back and absorb Mexico’s pressure knowing that El Tri needs to score to advance.
Honduras Lineup
Menjivar; Najar, Maldonado, Vega, Rosales; Flores, C. Pineda; Rivas, Acosta, Palma; A. Lozano
Honduras Injuries
Kevin Arriaga is questionable.
Mexico vs Honduras Pick and Prediction
Mexico is in a rough spot. To win on aggregate and avoid any sort of extra time, El Tri will need to score three goals in 90 minutes. It seems unlikely given Mexico’s recent run of form and Honduras’s dedication to staying compact in the back. After looking to the scores and odds, El Tri won’t get a shutout again and will likely win.
However, Honduras will keep this one under the three-goal total.
- Pick: Mexico ML (-714) and the game to stay UNDER the total (3).
